So the greatest intel community never thought to cancel snowdens passport in Hong Kong. Seems to me the lookaway pass was the play of the moment. Snowden is in Russia, far away from a trial that was always going to shine the light on a government illegal involvement. A trial that would devide public opinion and i suspect garner an already growing ovation of support in Snowdens favour, not to mention the media scrutiny that would pick the eyes out of any soul who ever thought they might be involved in the governments shadowy behavior. Ed Snowden is the hot potato no one country wonted to hold. Me thinks the government played a smart game. Ed Snowden is savely locked away in Russia. No trial, no worries. Go back to sleep America, everything is just fine.
that’s exactly what happened. And exactly why he got away, on purpose. If a Delta Team wanted him, they would have had him immediately. Letting him go was better for all involved. very unique set of circumstances. president obama made that call.
if america wanted him theyd have him but he poses to much info if he dies they dont know what gets leaked to which individuals.... he holds the cards.... untill he doesnt
Whistleblower defination: A whistleblower is a person who exposes information or activities within an organization that they believe to be illegal, unethical, or improper. This disclosure is typically made to authorities, regulators, or the public, with the aim of stopping harmful or unlawful practices.. The Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) (5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(8)) protects federal employees or applicants for federal employment from retaliation for making protected disclosures. The WPA also provides penalties for supervisors who retaliate against whistleblowers.
All US government employees have to swear the oath of office, to protect against enemies external and internal, Ed Snowdon is one of the few to take that oath seriously, he spoke out at great risk to himself, he should be a national hero, but when a country is run by criminals whistle blowers are persecuted, Julian Assange is another example
So much for application of the trivium style learning taking in knowledge, having understanding, and the action of wisdom put to use. Truth, peace, or a clean environment isn't important to the powers that be in our current hubris system of fear based control.
We, the people, of the United States of America, a Constitutional Republic, wait patiently for a book written by JULIAN ASSANGE AND EDWARD SNOWDEN. We don't want a movie, we want them to write a book for THE ENTIRE WORLD TO READ
You have to ask what terrified him about what he was observing that he was courageous enough to ensure that the people of the world were aware of it, he sacrificed so much personally, so he’s a hero, and no attack or death has come from his disclosure and actions. It’s easy to say well if you have nothing to hide what are you concerned about, but that is naive, what is acceptable today may not be acceptable tomorrow, and your information will be used against you!

The Americans should of realised their limitations and reached out to Mossad or even better British MI6 as it was in HK.They would of caught him. Furthermore we have seen this time and time again with their amateur mistakes. The wrong middle name ffs. The Hong kong lady even emphasised how meticulous they were on details something learnt from the British no doubt when it was a British colony and the excellent Chinese intelligence training they would if recieved also. Yes they purposly let him go but the Americans gave them the opputunity to. Here in Germany we call FBI Federal bureau of Idiots. Always too late with bad intelligence. Look at 9/11.

Michael Hayden is a piece of work ..man
The Americans should of realised their limitations and reached out to Mossad or even better British MI6 as it was in HK.They would of caught him.
Furthermore we have seen this time and time again with their amateur mistakes. The wrong middle name ffs. The Hong kong lady even emphasised how meticulous they were on details something learnt from the British no doubt when it was a British colony and the excellent Chinese intelligence training they would if recieved also. Yes they purposly let him go but the Americans gave them the opputunity to. Here in Germany we call FBI Federal bureau of Idiots. Always too late with bad intelligence. Look at 9/11.

God bless you Mr Snowden. Evil thrives when good people do nothing.
Snowden is a real American hero... It cannot be a crime to expose a crime. Simple legal logic.
